Section 221(g)(4) Debenture Rate Set
If your FHA-insured loan is issued under Section 221(g)(4), the interest rate on the debenture is set at 4 3/8 percent (4.375%) for the 6-month period beginning July 1, 2025. This rate applies to debentures issued during that period.
Other FHA Loans — 4 5/8% for 6 Months
For FHA-insured loans (other than Section 221(g)(4)) that are committed or endorsed during the 6-month period beginning July 1, 2025, the interest rate on the debenture is 4 5/8 percent (4.625%). This applies to loans committed or initially endorsed during that period.
Rate Determination Rule for Other Provisions
For debentures issued under any other provision of the National Housing Act, the interest rate applied is the higher of: the rate in effect on the date the commitment to insure the loan was issued, or the rate in effect on the date the loan was endorsed. This is how the applicable rate is chosen.
